Rustic Pallet Birdhouses

You can build your own projects like these charming Rustic Pallet Birdhouses from recycled/upcycled products. They’re simple, fun, and you can let your imagination run wild!

How I built these Rustic Pallet Birdhouses:

I made all of these birdhouses from recycled hardwood pallets with no formal plans. I designed these right from my imagination, and had fun with it! I also used as many nails as possible that came from the pallets to make these for free.

Additionally, I did a bit of a salvage run to the local dump for other upcycled items including tin, screws & perch objects. I apologize that this submission isn’t a formal “how-to” post, as I built these on the fly. However, if you have interest, please comment and I may do a step-by-step tutorial with pictures. Enjoy!

Hello, I love your ideas. May I please have your step by step instructions? You are very fortunate to be able to take items from your local dump. We have security guards who watch and we are not allowed to take items out of our local dump. What a waste of pallets and items that could be refurbished!

I would like the instructions on making pallet birdhouses. I have about 20 pallets just sitting in my back yard, waiting to be used. Please send me the instructions on making different birdhouses. Thank you, Bobbie

With an estimated 2 billion pallets being used every day, and many more sitting around, no wonder so many projects have been done using pallets. Here are 1001 ways to recycle, upcycle, reuse or repurpose pallets! If you are a pallet upcycler, do not hesitate to send us your work, we will be happy to showcase it to the world!
